Is it worth a career in Baan?

I have been involved systems engineering/network & system admin fields for the past 5 years and currently I am presented with an opportunity to work with Baan. However, in my part of the world, Baan is not as widely used and popular as Oracle or SAP.

Do you think it's worth going into the product which is not widely used and with a shaky history or even to be involved in the ERP field as a whole? Appreciate some comments.

There is not much difference in baan, sap or oracle.
All r erp, if u can get exp in any of them, u will
definitely benefical from it. For proper guidance call

In my view it is not worth it. SSA global, Baan's owners make it impossible
to obtain documentation without paying, or anything else related to Baan,
without paying. As far as I know, you cannot even obtain a home single user
baan system. I can with SAP and for ever so reasonable an amount. Even
though Baan is a stable product, you would be on your own as there are not
enough Baan users or incentives to develop add-on products. I earn my living
with Baan, but I am close to retirement. I would not start out with it.
